If Buells didn't exist...

[guzabri]

I would still be riding my Yamaha WR250X supermoto probably. Other than that I would ride a cb cafe racer of some kind. If I had the money, a ducati or aprilia.

 

[Ralph S]

Ducati 998 would be my first choice. After that in order would be RC51, bigger triumph Daytona, Honda Superhawk,had one of them a while back. My XB reminds of that bike, about the same power, not crazy fast but a lot of torque and sounds great with decent pipes.

 

[WALLSXB]

I'd probably not be riding anything because nothing ever caught my eye and made me say I have to have it like when I saw my first Buell XB12Ss . I've looked at other brands lately but nothing gets my goat going like the Buell, that's why I've had 4 in the past 5 years I guess.[smirk]

Speed triple. Or perhaps either a Daytona 675 or a Ducati. Something about the s1000rr has been been catching my eye lately as well. But I doubt I'd get one over the first three options.

 

[PalmaMaster1]

ZZR1200, K1200S,

 

[Jezuz]

Well, the new MV F3 is sex

Edit: Also designed by Adrian Morton, everything he does seems to catch my eye, prior to knowing it's his design.

 

[garyphantom222]

My picks would be Yamaha V-Max,1984-1986 Honda Nighthawk 700sc,maybe a Triumph.

 

[GAXB9R]

RC-51

 

[Xb12armyguy]

Triumph,aprilia,ducati or ktm, I like to be diff.

 

[Mike88Recovery]

I'd either be on a 1st gen v-max or a Honda V65 Magna, but with the Magna I'd probably be on the side of the road for pre-mature cam failure.

 

[wd40oz]

I'd build the baddest CRF450X tard, completely murdered out and lower the suspension "flat-track" style. There's no triple-jumps on my commute so I don't need to sit 4ft off the ground.

 

[BoostedRNR]

I wouldn't be wasting half my life, stalking this forum, gaining a ton of info. Still trying to decide between being mature and building a shop to put all my toys in or buying a sweet Buell

 

[icecoldcoasty]

I can't believe no one is mentioning the real bikes of the 70s and 80s. If money was no issue I would have a Yamaha to 750. And then back in my wallets range I would have and rz500 in yellow and black. And then get the r6 body conversion swing arm and susp upgrade. And run the **** outa it. 2 smokers make me smile.

 

[Pagano]

My current ride, yes, I'm Beull-less, 82 Yamaha XV750, all the torque, hardly any rice.

 

[HangMan]

before i discovered Buells i had my heart set on a CBR600-RR, supposedly they were more beginner friendly than the other jap-bikes

since discovering the joys of rolling on a sport v-twin, i've fallen for the Ducati superbikes.

once i'm old and fat and my back goes out, probably a Suzuki M109R, if i can afford one

 

[brian1570]

Duc hypermotard, in any flavor really. That bike looks like a real kick in the pants. Then either a very modified monster or an old school duc. Thennn for a cheap track bike maybe an r6.

 

[kbfnail]

Triumph Thruxton/speed triple or 675

 

[sbsumerix]

i'd be on either a triumph speed triple or a yamaha fz8

 

[Headbarcode]

KTM Superduke 990 looks pretty sexy and is right there with the Buell XB12 as far as hp and torque.

 

[cgo]

Ducati Panigale or Streetfighter. Definitely some kind of twin. Well, that F3 up there looks pretty bada$$ too!!

One of my previous bikes:

Another:

As you can tell, I like twins of all types: V, L, parallel, etc...
